Question : I am taking BP medicines since 8 years but recently in last 1-2 months, I have noticed my BP has been reduced as I have started regular walks from last 5 months. I have stopped BP medicines, is this correct? I used to drink once in a week and now I am not drinking. Would this cause a reduction in the BP. I have lost 9 kgs in 5 months.

Note: I have been infected with the prostate infection since 3 months which Doctor called prostratitis and on antibiotics and took many different antibiotics but my infection didnt go completly. Would this cause a low BP or reduction in BP.

Detailed Answer:
Hi. Welcome to Healthcare Magic. I am Dr Anshul Varshney for your help.
See, exercises, weight reduction causes reduction in blood pressure and if your blood pressure is < 140/90 with out medicines you don't need any medication.
Just carry on with regular exercises and avoid alcohol and salt, oil in diet.
No the antibiotics taken for prostatitis are not going to cause reduction in BP.
I hope it helps you. If you have any further query please ask me.
